The National Women’s Soccer League and NWSL Players Association have a new collective bargaining agreement, one which includes higher pay, expanding benefits and – in a notable move – abolishing the draft. With the new CBA, which will be in place through 2030, the NWSL becomes the first major American professional sports league to abolish its player draft.
Charter flights can be used for up to six legs in a league season, and additional charter flights are required in what the league says is “a variety of scenarios to ensure player health and safety requirements are satisfied.” Player movement also is addressed in the new CBA, granting unrestricted free agency and guaranteeing all contracts. Any trade, intra-league or inter-league transfer will require player consent.
